Re: St.Louis Cardinals: Team of the 1970s?
You could make any team into the team of the decade if you re-write enough history.

Re: Losses that ended an era
12-7-68, Colts at Packers. Although 5-6-1, the Packers still had a slim chance to win the Central, but they had to beat the 11-1 Colts. The game was never close, and in the 4th quarter when the Packers gave up the ball on downs, the Lambeau Field crowd gave them a standing ovation -- an acknowledgem...

Re: Week 1 losses that SHOULD'VE doomed a season but DIDN'T.
An odd factoid is that six of the last 15 Super Bowl champions (2001 Patriots, 2002 Buccaneers, 2003 Patriots, 2007 Giants, 2011 Giants, 2014 Patriots) lost their season opener. In the previous 35 seasons, it only happened twice (1981 49ers, 1993 Cowboys).

Re: Week 1 losses that ultimately doomed a season
The 1976 Buccaneers lost their first game and never really seemed to get over it.

Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
I'm burned out on night football games (and sporting events) in general. Every NFL team should have at least half their games kick off at noon or 1:00 local time.giasyc94 wrote:The Supebowl should be played in daylight. Start the game at 3 PM Eastern.

Re: Which nfl Team Will Be the First?
There’s a saying in journalism: A thousand planes landing safely isn’t news, but one not landing safely is. The reason a move like the one by the school district in Washington makes the news is because it's an oddity. The reason you don’t read about kids being allowed to play tag with impunity is be...

Re: Which nfl Team Will Be the First?
This has become a society in which children are no longer allowed to play the game tag because it might possibly stigmatize some child to have to be "it". I walk my dog past an elementary school every day during the lunch hour, and every day there are two or three groups of kids playing t...

Re: Tom Brady's four-game suspension nullified
How about them scrambling the Steelers headsets tonight so that FOR THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF they were picking up NE's radio broadcast. Nothing like brazenly announcing to the world "Hey! We're still cheating!" Since a team's headphones are shut down when the other team is having a problem l...

Re: 2015 Predictions
The same four teams as last year will play for their respective conference championships.
Andrew Luck will be MVP.
Sam Bradford will thrive in Philadelphia.
Marvin Lewis will finally get fired.
Reaser will tear a rotator cuff patting himself on the back.
